difference of Omega-3 and fish oil

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

I dont know the difference. Can someone educate me... lol. Im looking on losing a lil weight. I take a multi vitamin daily and was wondering if omega-3 or fish oil is good for me to take.

Yeah, fish oil is very good if you go low fat diet.

ok thanks, im not a dumb*ss when it comes to most nutrition. but what would you classify as a low fat diet (how many fat grams a day should i eat if im gonna be on a low fat diet.)

Your daily fat(in grams) intake should be your bodyweight X .4

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

Your daily fat(in grams) intake should be your bodyweight X .4

lol thats irony right there. cuz i always stayed under 60 grams of fat when i diet and i weigh 150 lbs and 150 x .4 = 60

thanks for the info

Fish oil is good, as is Omega-3. Fish oil contains Omega-3. However, alot of the cheap Fish oil / Omega-3's have mercury in them.

You're body when it takes in the anti-oxidant from Omega-3's it has to convert it's structure.

Most of your Omega-3's contain triglyceride, and your body wont accept it in that form. So it converts it into a form that your body will accept, which is the phospholipid form. Doing this loses alot of the potency.

You should look up Krill Oil. I use to works for a company that sold a product called Bio-Krill. Krill oil is from a crustaceans in the northern atlantics. It also contains no mercury levels. Most of all, this is the form that your body accepts, so it goes straight into your system and gets to work much faster, and it is much more potent then regular Omega-3's

The Omega-3 anti-oxidant is very good for your circulatory system, lowing bad cholestoral and raising the good, and very good for your heart overall. As far as helping with weight loss, it helps some. But there are much better things out there more directed towards weight loss then Omega-3

Hope this helps. I worked for this company for a while so I know alot about anti-oxidants and what not. I don't work for them anymore, so this is far from a sales pitch, even though it may sound like it =)

Well then, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Fish Oil is one of the most beneficial supplements you can take, if not the most beneficial.
